Meanwhile, in the first incident since the migrant workers were given an ultimatum to leave the Kashmir Valley, militants on August 7 shot at and wounded a non-Kashmiri labourer in the Pulwama district. Abdul Kalam of Malda district in West Bengal was shot at by unidentified militants in the Drawani village. No group has claimed responsibility for the incident thus far.

The separatist and militant outfits later amended their statements saying they have asked only "criminals" among the labourers to leave the Valley.

Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad acknowledged on August 9 that there was a nexus between some politicians and militants in the State and said his Government would act firmly to tackle the problem. "It is true that in Jammu and Kashmir some politicians and Over Ground Workers have had a liaison with militants for several years and they take their help. We are maintaining a full watch on them," Azad said in an interview in Jammu, according to Press Trust of India. Azad’s comments came in the wake of intelligence reports that certain ministers and political leaders, especially those in south Kashmir, were in close touch with militants in the run-up to next year’s Legislative Assembly elections. He also blamed the Pakistan army, its external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, and recent developments in the neighbouring country for the sudden rise in infiltration from across the border. "Infiltration had initially increased in April and May and it has also shown an upward trend in the current month," he said. The "wavering command structures" across the border may have contributed to the rise of infiltration into Kashmir but Indian troops "are geared up to deal with any situation", he stated.

Chief of Army Staff General J. J. Singh said in Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore) on August 17 that the time was not ripe to scale down the level of troops in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking to the media after flying the mechanised version of indigenous advanced flight helicopter Dhruv at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, he said Jammu and Kashmir is a border State and the border issues had remained unresolved with both China and Pakistan, where the countries have different perceptions. He said there was no increase in the level of troops but there had been replacement of battalions. General Singh also stated: "when you have armed terrorists infiltrating into India, how do you expect the Indian Army to reduce the troop level. When there are teething problems like terrorists coming across the border and serious law and order problems in the hinter land of Kashmir and the unresolved border issues, it will not be possible to reduce the troop level in Kashmir in the near feature."
